Life on the Edge - (1) The Insects Tea Party
2026-02-10 14:00 - 16:00 (Europe/London) | The Edge Brixham, Bolton Street, Brixham, Devon, TQ5 9DH, United Kingdom
Join the Life on the Edge team for a free programme of creative sessions.

This is a series of five creative sessions as part of a Life on the Edge ‘Small Wonder’ project – creation of a public piece of art to raise awareness of our project and to encourage people to get out and enjoy different parts of our incredible landscape.

In this series of sessions, led by artist, Monica-Shanta, and storyteller, Sara Hurley, we will be using art making, stories and sound. We will also be heading out during the second session to explore the coast and gather inspiration. The series culminates in an Insect’s Tea Party where we’ll come together to celebrate what we have made.

These events are free and are designed for any older person who would like to attend. We ask that you try to attend as many of the five sessions as possible, but we do understand that this is not always possible.

The five events are taking place on the following dates:

10th February, 2-4pm
